ABSTRACT:
A high integrity electrical connector (10) including an electrically conductive retention clip (12) and an electrically conductive internal contact (14). The retention clip (12) includes a substantially tubular wall (16) presenting a longitudinally extending channel (18) and first and second opposed ends (20,22), the wall defining a window (24) intermediate the ends (20,22) and presenting first and second legs (32,34) extending into the channel (18). The internal contact (14) is received in the channel (18) and retained by the first and second legs (32,34) against longitudinal shifting in the channel (18). Lead wires (58,60) having respective terminals (62,64), when inserted into the channel (18) are retained by tines (40,42) which project into the channel (18) and engage circumscribing bands (68) on the terminals (62,64) to resist separation of the wires from the connector (10) and provide a high integrity splice capable of separation when desired by using a standard extraction/separation tool. The retention clip (12) thereby provides an integral, single element capable of conducting current between spliced wires and retaining them against undesired separation.
